Why didnt Carlos fight and defend the interim instead of letting the division go stagnant for a year?

ONLY for the increased payday for fighting Georges.

Im not saying Carlos didnt fight hard, but outside of that kick Kos had a better performance in his first run.

LOL @ the defensiveness, Carlos lost legit, every round outside of perhaps the 3rd.

That is one sided, thats a beatdown.

he accepted the rematch with Diaz before he failed the piss test.

the interim belts in the UFC rarely get defended, especially now.

who cares if he waited for more money?

condit was more competetive than almost every other person that GSP has fought.

wtf is your point?

My point is that Carlos made a decision to not fight so he could.claim more money. Mixed with the fact that he knowingly fought.a terrible fight against Diaz just to win for money.

Carlos is a legit fighter, who.has changed during his last two fights.due to not wanting lose, all for the money.

Its sad.

Or, perhaps, he's a guy who has trained his entire life and wanted to prove to himself that he could accept and rise to the challenge of fighting the greatest WW or all time. High level athletes relish in a challenge. Carlos even said, "this is the fight I've been training my whole life for." He won the interim belt fair and square and part of the concession prize was a fight with GSP. I can't begrudge the man for wanting to wait. What if he fought and lost by injury or cut or some other hard-luck manner? What if he had a career ending injury and never again got his shot at GSP? This idea that he is all about the money is utter nonsense. Did he make more money waiting for GSP? Certainly. Was it his sole motivation? No way. It's asinine to think otherwise.

So high level athletes relish taking a year off fighting, just for a singular fight which brings them a 4 fight pay day for one fight?

LOL @ your defensive, and shit logic.

Are you a fucking retard? Did you read what I wrote? Is English your first language?

He wanted to fight GSP because it is the single most challenging fight in his weight class. If I was him I would have waited too. It wasn't about the money; it was about the challenge. Clearly, you have never competed in any sport at a high level. The logic is simple and so are you, obviously.

So you personally know Condit? Thats the only way you could be so convinced of his motives.

Since you do not, its really quite sad your desperate attempt to defend Condit has fallen by.the wayside.

Condit let the division stagnate, gave the finger to every fan who wanted to see him fight in the meantime, and is now counting a losing salary which could be up to two or three winning salaries just because it was a title fight.

He got there by the skin of his teeth and he knew it, he rode the division out for a year all the way to the bank.

Does it feel like your parents have told you that Santa never existed? Or are you still living in a sheltered world where professional fighters take a year out for the love of the sport.

Professional fighters are professionals. They fight for money. It's what they do for a living, their job or "profession".

I have no idea what you do for a living sitchpack, but whatever you job may be, consider this: if you had the chance to work for 3 months and take the rest of the year off, and make more money than you would for working all year... would you work all year just because you love your fucking job so much?

LOL @ you.

Do YOU know Condit on a personal level? No, so how do YOU know he did it for money? Your own argument is back firing on you, not to mention you're a complete tool.Is it so hard to believe a guy wanted a challenge? If I was Condit, I would want to fight Pierre. Not Hendricks, or Diaz, or Fitch, no. I would want to fight Pierre.

If Condit was really in it for money, he WOULD have fought again. He was a champion, so he'd get portions of the PPV, and a paycheck, not to mention bonuses.

No. He wanted a challenge and you're fucking retarded.

The question is rhetorical. Why even swoop in here to defend your damsel in distress?

Looks like Condit has been taking business lessons from Jackson, first rule of order for Condit is to not defend his fake belt that he won by a hair then sit about all year and get ruined by Georges.

All the while you precious fanboys bet on Condit.and bought into the hype, only to have your dreams crushed.

I know yall are mad, but look at it this way, Condit couldnt be happier with his '3 fight in one just to lose worse than Koscheck did in his first fight' paycheck :)

Didn't condit say he wanted to four but the UFC gave him no offers after the diaz rematch fell through? The guy gives one of the goats the toughest fights of his career and people still want to hate on Carlos.

Nexuscrawlers - Didn't condit say he wanted to four but the UFC gave him no offers after the diaz rematch fell through? The guy gives one of the goats the toughest fights of his career and people still want to hate on Carlos.

Hate on a dude who fought a shit fight against Diaz because it was the only way he could win

Or hate on him for getting ruined in a fight he had a year to prepare.for?

sitchpack - Calm down now Condit fanboys, just because your saviour got his ass beat doesnt mean yall need.to.run around like kids on scooters with bitch tits going crazy.

Your boy waited for a year then got whooped, LOL @ butthurt.

I hate people like you...

You mean know-it-all teenagers? Me too. School is out for the holiday and idiots like OP decide to log on to mommy's computer and run off at the mouth.

How intelligent, accuse everyone who disagrees with you to be a teenager. You win the internet with your glorious logic.

You say things like LOL and butthurt and instead of spelling "and" you use @. There are smiley faces at the end of half your posts. There is no fucking way you are over 16. It's called deductive reasoning. You'll learn about it when you repeat your junior year...

Cool starry bra, real intelligent deduction bra. You are a modern day Sherlock Holmes with internet profiling powers such as yours.

Oh and btw Mr. internet Columbo.defending us all from supposed teenagers, @ is the symbol for 'at' not 'and'.

Ring rust and status of GSP's knee aside, it kinda went pretty much as many could predict imo when analyzing their mix of striking and tds was too much for Condit and Condit is not that hard to td.Condit is however very active off his back with sweeps, sub attempts, reverse GSP and kept GSP busy with minding those. GSP's top position is solid as is his passing but as usual couldnt really obtain fully advantageous positions. He had some GNP but not huge. Condit has a very diverse set of striking arsenal and is also somewhat unorthodox. He was able to catch GSP with a head kick that dropped GSP though GSP also said his eye on the side he got caught with was a bit blurry from a striker from earlier.

To think that Condit didnt believe he could beat GSP when he had a chance to finish GSP and came closest to doing so thru everyone since Matt Serra is......
